Russell City Community Members,
You are invited to participate in a series of upcoming Russell City Reparative Justice Project town hall-style meetings and public comment periods.
On March 26, 2024, a work session was held at the Hayward City Council meeting to receive recommendations for reparative justice actions proposed by former residents and descendants of Russell City. As City of Hayward staff further assesses the recommendations, we also are collecting additional community feedback before bringing the proposals back to the City Council for further consideration and potential implementation.
To accomplish this, the City will host a five-part, virtual town hall series between July and September 2024 to get input on 10 reparative justice proposals. We invite you to join the meetings, which will take place online on Zoom, to share your input.
Following each town hall, there will be 16-day public comment periods for community members to share any additional feedback on the proposals. Sign up on our mailing list to receive alerts when public comment periods open and check this website for instructions on how to share your feedback.
